Seeking additional information on the siblings of Margaret Spencer Lee Waldron (daughter of John Spencer and Frances "Frankie" Davis).

John Spencer was born August 19, 1808 in South Carolina, and died June 25, 1898 in Union County, Mississippi. He married Francis "Frankie" Davis. She was born June 29, 1805 in South Carolina, and died October 10, 1894 in Union County, Mississippi. John and Francis Davis Spencer are buried at Mt. Olivet Methodist Church Cemetery, Union County, Mississippi.

The Spencers moved from South Carolina to Alabama about 1837 and from Alabama to the Molino area of what was then Tippah County, Mississippi (now Union County), where they raised their family of six daughters and one son. John Spencer’s father was probably George Spencer (born ca. 1776 in North Carolina). He was living with John and Francis Spencer when the census was taken in 1850 and 1860.


Children of JOHN SPENCER and FRANCIS "FRANKIE" DAVIS:

I. MARTHA SPENCER, born ca. 1833, South Carolina.

II. GEORGE SPENCER, born ca. 1836, South Carolina.

III. MARGARET A. SPENCER, born ca. 1838, Alabama; died after 1900, Mississippi (?). She married(1) GRANVILLE LEE, son of STROTHER LEE and CATHERINE NUTT(?). He was born April 8, 1832, Giles County, Tennessee, and died December 19, 1867, Tippah County, Mississippi. She married(2) JAMES B. WALDRON ca. 1872. James Waldron, probably the son of Irish immigrants, was born ca. 1841 in New York and died before 1900. The location of the grave of Margaret Spencer is unknown.

IV. MARY SPENCER, born ca. 1838, Alabama.

V. FRANCIS SPENCER, born ca. 1841, Alabama.

VI. DULCINA SPENCER, born ca. 1843, Alabama.
